Context: HyTale was possibly the most hyped Minecraft alternative, but got acquired by Riot and was in development hell. Earlier this year it got cancelled, but now the original founder has bought it back from Riot and is reviving the game, with early access soon
Modding: Available at launch. Run your own servers and create custom content.
All I needed to hear. I am so excited for this and was following the game since it was announced, fuck yeah

Glad to hear that.
But geez what a mess. They’re going back to their old engine after spending years trying to port the game to a new engine.
It’s the right choice in my opinion. Rather than spend another few years working on the new engine and possibly going into development hell again, they’re going to move back to the old engine and release the game straight into early access to gain some momentum and progress
Seems like the new engine had so many problems that the old engine was actually better made.
They wouldnt have chosen this approach without good reason.
Does anyone know if they have worked on controller & splitscreen support or if it is in the roadmap?
I wonder how this will affect Vintage Story. At least a couple of the devs were working with them on a “Fantasy Mode”
Is it going to affect VS? I doubt the devs they hired are just going to quit to go back to Hytale suddenly
No clue. No idea if this is the same dev that joined the VS team.
I’m sure they’ll continue development, considering that they are planning to use any improvements to existing systems that the Fantasy Mode devs will make.
Most people hope that the combat system will improve, but time will tell.
Unless it can do something impossible to do with mods in Minecraft Java edition then IDC about it anymore. Especially if its not an announcement of the full release.
It can do “not giving money to Microsoft” at least, so just for that I’m curious
I hope this has depth. I tried to enjoy Necesse but it was just too formulatic and shallow at that.
I thought the Vintage Story guys took it over?
they hired some of the devs, they didn’t take over hytale (and wouldn’t want to, from what i’ve read - they are happy with vintage story and working on it)
